Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety pre-
cautions must be
observed when
working with this
power tool
because of the
very high speed of
its cutting attach-
ment and the fact
that it is powered
by electricity.
It is important that
you read and
understand the
User Manual
before commis-
sioning and keep it
in a safe place for
future reference.
Non-compliance
with the User Man-
ual may cause
serious or even
fatal injury.
Observe the national safety
regulations issued, e.g., by
the employers' liability
insurance association, social
security institutions,
occupational safety and
health authorities or other
organizations.
If you have not used this
machine before: Have your
dealer or other experienced
user show you how to handle
your machine safely or attend
a specialist course.
Minors should never be
allowed to use the machine –
except for young trainees over
the age of 16 when working
